Question Good all-around brake controller

What is an easy to install, good priced brake controller for my 2004 Supercrew FX4?

From everything I have heard, the Prodigy by Tekonasha (spelling may be off), is one of the best on the market. While I don't personally have one (don't have a trailer with brakes), I do have a good friend who has one and loves it. They also get good reviews in the towing forum on here. I think it's in the 100-120 neighborhood on price.

I have a Tekonsha Prodigy in my truck and love it. I wouldn't get anything else.

Agree with the above posts, my Prodigy has been flawless.

Drawtite Activator... Good, Cheap, Easy to install... Works for my 22' enclosed double axle trailer! Nothing fancy!

Prodigy is the best one for the price. I've used mine for over 2 years with my 25' travel trailer and I have not touched it since I spent the initial 15 minutes installing and adjusting it. Well spent $100. Ordered mine from Rvwholesalers.com and spend an extra $10 to get a vehicle specific wiring harness. Go to RV.net and go into the forums and you will find hundreds of people recommending them.
